Shameful....

As a stay-at-home mom I knew I was bound to pick up some habits. But you see, I was hoping that they would be good habits. Like staying on top of our therapies and making sure the BabyBee did his exercises an hour a day, or sorting through our things and getting rid of stuff we no longer need or have room for. But nooooooooooo. You know what awful, horrible, disgraceful habit I have picked up.....................................................................?














I now watch a soap opera. I am not lying. This is seriously so so embarassing for me. I am normally addicted to game shows. But with basic cable there is nothing on from 12-2 when Let's Make a Deal finally comes on. So in the mean time I started casually watching All My Children. I would just watch a few minutes in between feeding my BabyBee and doing loads of laundry but something happened one day and now I am glued to the tv from 12-1 every day with the exceptions of Wednesday because our Developmental Therapist comes over during that hour. It has gotten to the point where if the WorkerBee is home he will also glance over occasionally and ask a question. I HAVE DRAGGED MY HUSBAND INTO IT AS WELL. ***gasp*** He can't help it when I am sitting there yelling at the tv. I honestly don't know what to do to break this viscious cycle that has started. First I tried playing on the internet but that gives me a headache and makes me kind of dizzy. Then I decided that BabyBee and I would just have to have playtime but it is so close to his nap time that he just gets upset with me. I have tried turning the tv off and having a nap but with no luck. The tv has this pull on me and I end up watching it and getting mad that I missed a few minutes. Today I had to go to the bathroom and had to wait until commercial to do it. Pretty sad when you can't even tend to your bladder because a SHOW is on. So now you know my dirty little secret. Please don't tease me too badly. I already feel like a total goober for admitting this.
Well now that you know one of my weaknesses what is one of YOURS?

  3. Soaps are funny, if you miss three months you can pretty much get the gist of what went on watching one episode. I just refer to all soaps as "adultery island". Pretty much someone kills somebody's lover who whatev. lol.
